Oil, walnut

Walnut oil is an oil extracted from walnuts and used as a dietary fat. The figures describe the oil itself, rather than whole walnuts. Per 100g, it provides 3696 kJ of energy and 100g of fat, of which 9.1g is saturated fat. Fat is its main nutrient, with only trace amounts of protein.

Fat supplies energy and helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins. Walnut oil is concentrated in energy, so the amount used is relevant for people monitoring their energy or fat intake. Its saturated fat content also contributes to overall saturated fat intake. It contains only traces of salt and provides no fibre. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.
